Sorry about the limited pictures, I'll try to get some more up by the end of the weekend.  If you want to see anything specific, feel free to let me know.

Car is nice and well-maintained (I have a very complete file of records going back to circa 1990). However, it is important to remember that the car does have 104K miles on it, so it is not perfect. I am the third owner. Car was first leased in VA for 2 years, then bought by the second owner in NC where it lived from 1988-2011. Options include:

"Glacier Blue Glamour Metallic" paint
JBL Audio System
Leather seats
Wire wheels
Digital dash w/ trip computer
Auto-dimming rearview mirror


What works: pretty much everything except: the power door lock switch (not the lock itself) on passenger door and one of the "tilt" switches on passenger door. Radio works fine/well, but when the volume is adjusted there is some static during the process.

Condition (mechanical): Runs and drives well. Battery is 6 months old. Alternator is about 3 years old. Michelin Symmetry tires, as well as brakes, are about 5 years old with less than 10K miles on them. A/C has been converted to R134 and is cold (I had charged upon delivery a couple Falls back). The only thing negative to mention is that sometimes the engine takes two attempts to start. I assume it is a fuel pressure issue (pump always primes when the key is turned, so I'm not sure if the fuel pump itself is the culprit). There is a new fuel pressure regulator in the glovebox that I've never dealt with. Also, when brake pedal is depressed, there is a "hissing" noise at first - this seems to get better as the drive continues....the car stops fine and the pedal does not feel soft, so I haven't worried about it.

Condition (body): Very presentable. Of course, there are a few small scratches from use, but nothing that really catches the eye. Right front painted bumper filler on side has brushed something lightly. Biggest problem for me is where the vinyl top has pulled away from the molding where it meets the painted part of the body (passenger side C-pillar). This a 4-5 inch section which the previous owner filled with clear silicon (I don't know how to address other than replacing the whole vinyl top which is perfect otherwise). The wire wheels still look decent, but do have slight haze as they always do. These are better than most though, I have to say. Also, the window run channels are dry and disintegrated in places on the outside (inside is fine) - I've looked for NOS ones with no luck.

Condition (interior): Very nice. If you know these cars, you know that the dashes bake quickly and that the integrated speaker covers crack. This car's dash looks new, proving that it has been garaged. The leather interior is very nice, with the driver's seat showing minor wear as expected. The glovebox door has the usual separation at the top (previous owner attempted to glue). Front passenger armrest has slight cracking on corner. Front driver's armrest is badly cracked underneath the color-keyed aftermarket plastic cover (made to fit).

DISCLAIMER:  This vehicle is almost 27 years old, so NO WARRANTY of any kind is expressed/implied.  $500 deposit required via PayPal within 24 hours of winning bid.  Final payment to be made via cashier's check, cash, or personal check (though vehicle can not be released until check clears bank).  Thanks.

Huge JFK auction includes two classic Lincolns

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

Want to own a piece of American history? Perhaps you should consider 35th President John F. Kennedy's limousine, a stretched 1960 Lincoln Continental, or the last car he safely rode in before his assassination, a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible. Both of them will be up for sale at the Camelot: Fifty Years after Dallas auction on October 24, a JFK 50th anniversary auction in Boston.
The black 1960 Continental was part of the presidential motorcade and is bulletproof. The body has been restored to the tune of about $35,000, according to RR Auctions, but the interior was left alone. That's okay, because the winning bidder will be able to enjoy lounging in the well-preserved seats and stepping on the original tan carpeting, just as President Kennedy did. The next owner can even play President, with a divider window, passenger air controls and a two-way telephone - if a chauffeur is hired, of course. The starting bid for the Continental is $25,000.
The other car is more historically relevant (but in this writer's eye, less beautiful), and commands a starting bid of $50,000. The white, convertible 1963 Continental was the last car President Kennedy rode in before his assassination in Dallas - with a notarized document by the car's owner at the time as proof. It was used to transport the President, his wife, Jacqeuline, and Texas governor John Connally "from a breakfast and speech at the Texas Hotel ballroom through the streets of Fort Worth to Carswell Air Force Base, where they boarded a short flight to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963," according to RR Auctions. Lincoln specialist Baker Restoration in Connecticut restored the car, which included an engine replacement, body work and paint. Most of the interior, including the seats, are in original condition.

2015 Lincoln Navigator ready to roll for $62,475*

Wed, 21 May 2014

Fancy picking up a refreshed Lincoln Navigator? Well, prepare to shell out at least $62,475. That's a whopping increase of $6,310 for the now-EcoBoost-equipped SUV.
That's just for the two-wheel-drive Select model, though. Want to drive all four wheels? Better have an extra $3,575 laying around. Snagging the top-of-the-line Reserve model, meanwhile, demands a premium of $7,500.
For those extra bills, you'll net Lincoln Drive Control, complete with continuously controlled dampers, power running boards, Ziricote wood interior trim, upgraded leather, 22-inch wheels, a "unique" interior headliner and, of course, a "Reserve" badge.
